US actress Selma Blair has revealed she has multiple sclerosis (MS) in an Instagram post.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old Cruel Intentions star said she was diagnosed in August but has had symptoms for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things,\u201d she wrote, calling the news \u201coverwhelming in the beginning\u201d.<\/p>\n

Multiple sclerosis is an incurable condition affecting the brain or spinal cord, causing vision, balance and muscle problems.<\/p>\n

According to the UK\u2019s NHS, it is two to three times more likely in women than men, and is usually diagnosed in people in their 20s and 30s.<\/p>\n

The cause of the condition is still unknown.<\/p>\n

Blair is set to appear in the Netflix programme Another Life, and said the \u201cprofound\u201d help she received from costume designer Allisa Swanson had inspired her to come forward with the story.<\/p>\n

In her post she said she was \u201cin the thick of it\u201d but hoped to give hope to others by talking about the condition.<\/p>\n
